Heroes V Demo on Thursday

Angelspit · Unread postby **Angelspit** » 11 Apr 2006, 19:03

The <a href="/http://mightandmagic.com/de/">German page of the Might and Magic portal</a> confirms that a Heroes V demo will be out on Thursday. Previously, a <a href="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/index. ... 585">rumor on a Czech site</a> revealed that the demo was to be released this week. So you will all be able to see by yourself why the various previews released during the past 24 hours are mostly very optimistic.

The German page also mentions a contest in partnership with fan site Drachenwald.net. I'm told that fans could win a unique and hand-made Heroes V Helmet. The contest ends on April 30th. Anyone can tell us what it is all about?

In words of Thom19: "You have to be inhabitant of Austria or Germany, be creative and answer 15 questions as well as possible "

Hmm. Had it been Switzerland as well, and "citizen" instead of "inhabitant", I'd have a firend who soon would be hearing from me

. Alas, it seems that I'm foiled in both aspects

So the demo will be available on Gamespot or Fileplanet? Any info?

Ah man, just in time for my wireless to stop working... Nothing like a 56k dial-up connection to download a demo. :-(

@Gaidal Cain: No, not Switzerland, which is not member of the EU and so this is the only possiblity to avoid problems with customs ... and citizen inhabitant ^^ ... who cares

Edit//As far as I know, the demo will be available on Ubi.com servers directly ... fileplanet was only the beta

They will get hammered badly, that's for sure. But it's good to know the distribution method will be simple and painless.

There's a reason it's called laissez-faire economics.

Oh, come one. Wasn't it like this when the demo was released as well? It's no point in sitting there and hitting refresh...

People, don't hit refresh all the time, you're hurting the server.

Hmm... that explains why it loads slower than usual. BTW guys, wouldn't it make more sense to watch the official forum?

Thom19 · Unread postby **Thom19** » 13 Apr 2006, 13:48

The Demo was announced for 6 p.m. ... now it is 3:50 p.m. ... so little more that 2 hours earliest

Check this out- if someone is quick and wishes to actually sit there and hit refresh, there'll be a prize to compete for!
